You can use AWS WAF, AWS Shield, and AWS Firewall Manager together to create a comprehensive security solution. Use AWS WAF to monitor requests that are forwarded to your web applications and control access to your content. Use AWS Shield to help protect against DDoS attacks. Use AWS Firewall Manager to set up your firewall rules and apply the rules automatically across accounts and resources, even as new resources are added.

The correct answer is: C. AWS Shield A. Amazon GuardDuty → Amazon GuardDuty is a threat detection service that helps identify malicious activity, but it is not specifically focused on DDoS protection. It provides insights into security threats like unauthorized access but doesn't prevent DDoS attacks. B. AWS WAF → AWS Web Application Firewall (WAF) is used to protect applications from web application attacks (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting), but it doesn't specifically provide DDoS protection. However, it can work in conjunction with AWS Shield for enhanced security. D. Amazon Inspector → Amazon Inspector is an automated security assessment service that helps identify vulnerabilities in applications, but it doesn't provide DDoS protection.
